REEF’s in-person events are on hold until further notice, but you can still join us for marine conservation fun from home.
Fishy Hour: "Gnome for the Holidays" Craft Workshop
Thursday, December 3 at 8 PM EST via Zoom
Register here.
Much of the science done by the Grouper Moon Project's collaborative research team is focused on gaining a better understanding Nassau Grouper populations in the Cayman Islands through studying their spawning aggregations; however, long-term acoustic tags (tracking pingers) allow us to gather information on how these fish behave at their home reefs outside of the spawning season. Nassau Grouper are known to be solitary and territorial.
Get ready for the race with this fun social time where you can meet your team and race mates, and get more details about the event.
You'll want a working webcam for this one if at all possible. (phone, tablet or computer all work well)
